Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and violet gel food coloring until fully combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to firm up the dough.

Scoop 1-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them into smooth balls. Coat each ball generously in powdered sugar.

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the cracks are prominent.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your vibrant, chewy, and flavorful Ube Crinkle Cookies with friends and family!
